Indiana University Studies 
were emerging from the galls which I collected at Alpine, 
Texas, on December 14 (1919). 
This insect is distinct from its widespread New Mexico and 
Arizona relatives, altho clearly related to them, and the gall 
is also readily distinguishable. Here is one more instance of 
the fact that the West Texas and adjacent New Mexico cynipid 
fauna does not extend further north or west in New Mexico. 
Cynips villosa variety apache, new variety 
agamic form

FEMALE. — Head (including the antennae), thorax, and legs (in- 
cluding the coxae) rich rufous to brownish rufous, the abdomen rufo- 
piceous; head slightly wider than the thorax, finely coriaceous to 
shagreened; thorax of moderate size, half again as long as wide; parap- 
sidal grooves hardly traceable more than three-quarters of the way to 
the pronotum; scutellum finely rugose, finely rugose anteriorly; the 
foveal groove of moderate width, shallow, smooth at bottom, with a 
suggestion of a division into foveae; mesopleuron mostly smooth and 
finely, evenly punctate; abdomen naked except for the patches latero- 
basally, well-produced, the second segment extending more than two- 
thirds of the way to the posterior tip of the abdomen; the wings re- 
duced to about 0.70 of the body in length, not extending beyond the tip 
of the abdomen, the venation consequently modified; length 2.3 mm.

GALL. — Indistinguishable from that of variety acraspiformis (q.v.), 
the spines stiff, straight, stout, the whole suggesting a sea urchin; on 
leaves of Quercus grisea and Q. arizonica. Figure 303. 
RANGE. — Arizona: Globe (types, Kinsey coll.). Fish Creek on 
Apache Trail (gall, Kinsey coll.). 
Probably confined to a limited area east of Phoenix, Arizona.

TYPES. — 2 females and many galls. Holotype and paratype fe- 
males and galls in the Kinsey collection; galls in the American Museum 
of Natural History, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the XJ.S. 
National Museum. Labelled Globe, Arizona; January 20, 1920; Q. 
grisea (holotype) and Q. arizonica (paratype) ; Kinsey collector. 
The holotype female seems to be a mature adult (unfor- 
tunately laden with glue in the mounting) ; the other female 
is small and not fully pigmented but otherwise agreeing with 
the holotype. The two specimens came from different oaks. 
The wings of both are shorter than those of Cynips dugesi
